Conductor Frederick Stock of the Chicago Symphony last year inaugurated a contest which last month brought attention to Joseph Rosenstein, 19-year-old violinist.

His long speeches resemble the monotone of a Fourth of July speaker, minus the relieving pyrotechnics usually associated with that day. Charitably speaking, his tailor may be held to account for his awkwardness in moving, but Mr. La Roque will be held personally responsible for his awkwardness in the fine passion. Ritchle Ling, who plays the husband, was formerly an opera singer. Mr. Ling, it is to be hoped, will soon again be an opera singer...
